Wiederaufleben einer abgefundenen Rente für gesetzlich Unfallversicherte Bewilligung

You can receive a pension from the statutory accident insurance again after a settlement upon application and under certain conditions.

It may be possible to receive a settlement from the statutory accident insurance instead of a regular pension, i.e. a one-off payment.

If your state of health worsens after you have been granted a settlement, you will again be entitled to a pension in full. This is called the resumption of the settled pension. The settlement amount paid will be credited against your pension.

To receive a pension again, you must apply to your employers' liability insurance association or accident insurance fund.

• Medical documents to prove the severely injured status
• Documents relating to other insurance claims
• Your employers' liability insurance association or accident insurance fund may tell you what else is needed.

• You have received a settlement
• After the settlement, you have become a severely injured person or a severely disabled person. This means your reduction in earning capacity has increased to at least 50 percent.
• Your reduction in earning capacity has increased:
  • as a result of a new insured event, for example, an accident at work, or
  • due to an aggravation of the consequences of previous insured events.

You can apply for pension resumption online or by mail.
